"Attempted" to write a book? Would that be a criticism of the book that eventually appeared? In your opinion, how effective was the Reeder/Meyer book as a guide to developing internal power and using the center?

Hi Raul:
Just take it as a garbled attempt on my part at saying "while they were attempting to write the book, Ikeda had to think how to say things...".
I haven't read the book in a while, but I think that it was a start in the right direction, although not really complete. You have to remember that when they wrote that book (not all that long ago) they were essentially trying to come to grips with how to say something that the Aikido population at large would have nothing to do with (other than to try to imply "we already do that", of course).
Best.
